Probably problem with the rights to subdirectories of program for group SYSTEM. I have no problems with "Restart Server" (64-bit)Arthur Dent wrote:
I recently upgraded from 1.14.3 to 1.50.3 (64-bit). Works great with HD videos now which did not transcode fast enough in the old versions.
But with the upgrade I got a problem with the "Service" functions like "Restart Server", "Enter Password", "Scan Folders".
In the past I saw that green check mark on my TV screen and the function was performed. Since the upgrade a get a "Failure showing the media" text, instead.
It seems that the checkmark cannot be shown. Subsequently the chosen function is also not performed.
Maybe the checkmark file is not in the expected location?

Hi,
Re: Problem with Services after upgrade to 64 Bit Version
Settings - Devices - choose a device - Settings - "Support for files without transcoding" - Movies - add mpgArthur Dent wrote:I checked, access rights are OK. I deinstalled WMS and made a clean install with the 1.50.3 (64-bit). It still doesn't work.Probably problem with the rights to subdirectories of program for group SYSTEM
So I checked the log file and I have a theory:
When I click on "Scan Folder", the server sends the "videook.mp4" to the TV. But it doesn't transcode it.
My TV is not capable to show mp4, only mpeg2.
There's also a "videook.mpg" in a subfolder of the program folder. Is it possible that the older version sent that file to the device?
Can I tell the new version 1.50.3 to use the mpg?

It seems that my TV is very picky with regards to streamed video. Most of my little mpg-clips cannot be viewed, if I use that setting above. They need to be transcoded to mpg using the settings in the transcoder window.
I solved that problem by renaming all *.mpg videos to *.mpeg.
It's a workaround. You might consider using videook.mp4 or videook.mpg based on the transcoder settings, not the device settings.
Settings - Devices - choose a device - Settings - "File types" - mpg - Edit - "Additional verification of support files" - Add - Condition - Edit
Expression - True - Ok - "Transcoding profile" - "Movies (primary)" - activate condition - Ok - Close - Ok - Ok
